Young Girls Hurting Themselves with Skincare Products

Girls are using adult skincare products to keep skin young, but the adult products are too harsh for young skin, scarring the girls. The girls are using the products because of social media influencers.

Girls are stupid, of all ages. And girls younger than 18 probably should not access social media. Or TV. Or magazines. Basically, no media at all. Girls probably should stay in a nunnery of some sort, for their own psychological wellbeing.

The funny thing is, girls instinctively start using makeup on their own. See tomorrow's post, for how they start competing on looks all on their own.

Hmongs and Armenians Upset at Census Bureau

Hmong, Armenians, Brazilians, Haitians, and other ethnicities are not satisfied with the newest racial ethnic classification system from the Census Bureau and the US government, because it is not detailed enough nor giving them enough representation.

It is turtles all the way down. There is never enough details in the classification systems. Especially not in an multiethnic empire like the USA.

"George Floyd Legacies"

After George Floyd death intensified the #BlackLivesMatter protests nationwide, people thought policing would improve. 4 years later, not much had changed.

Policing in America is built on the confluence of several systemic and bureaucratic forces. Reform is unlikely, since the forces remain unchanged. The "racism" complaints are mostly outside the control of the police itself. And the opposing forces on policing made police itself prone to corruption.

I have long made the observation that building new groups and bureaucracies is faster and more efficient than reforming old ones. The "George Floyd Legacies" history has again shone that observation to be historical truth in organizational innovation.

Another observation I made, is that urban policing in America, in many places, is an exercise in Counter-Insurgency, and we should act like it. Oil-Spot Strategy, co-option of local militia, etc. We have yet to take that seriously, and urban policing will continue to fail.

One more proposal I made, is that cities should break up into smaller independent entities, so that they are more accountable to the residents instead of the business interests, who drive much of urban policing. That this proposal remain unthinkable to much of the commentariat, just shows how unserious most urban residents and intelligentsia are about Policing.

How Stockholders Killed Red Lobster

Red Lobster made some bad business decisions as it was sold by a series of owners. Finally the Thai Union shrimp company, the latest owner, broke Red Lobster to benefit itself and Thai Union personnel.

Red Lobster is a case study of how #financialization killed a company. Globalization is evil.

Europeans Paying North Africa to Strand Southern Africans

European Union and members are paying Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania, and possibly other countries, to stop migrants from going to Europe. Therefore, these countries are rounding up sub-Saharan-looking people and dumping them in the Sahara deserts of Algeria, Libya, Mali, etc. Sometimes they also sell them into slavery.

To the liberals who want to maintain the ridiculous refugee policy while also stopping the resulting rise of the racist parties, this seems a reasonable tradeoff. The whole point is to stop them from leaving their home countries.

Unfortunately, the European liberals are too stupid. They will probably complain and stop the migrant harassment. And thus have more racist parties. Or the fascist parties will come to power anyway due to other problems, like the natural dying off of childless liberals, or Ukrainian refugees taking away European jobs.

And in the mean time, drive the Africans into the arms of the Chinese. Who might be planning a demographic replacement of their own.

Brits being stupid about knife attacks

Brits freaking out over knife attacks.

A hell of their own making.

Catholicism Counter-Reforms.

American Catholic churches are getting more conservative, because the liberal Catholics do not attend church nor recruit.

This is the paradox of reform. Reforms are more likely to kill an organization rather than actually changing its direction.
